1) Untangling the Mysteries of Log, LUT’s and External Recorders

External recorder/monitors have become a key production tool for getting the accurate exposure, focus and professional codecs needed for 4K, Log and HDR. This week, Joseph Kafka from Little Bird Media will share with us his experiencing shooting in a log color profile with the Sony FS5 and the Atomos Assassin 4k external recorder. He will bring both to the meeting for a hands-on look and lesson into using log and LUTS with an external recorder. Along the way, we will learn about what a log color profile is, what Slog is, when to use an external recorder, and why you don’t need to use log 90% of the time.

2) New Professional Member Presentation

There is ample parking, but you can decide to pay a few bucks to the parking meter (should be less than $5), or park at a parkade (a little more expensive, maybe around $7), or park in a free 2-hour zone and walk a few blocks. Below is a rough map of the area, but please allow extra time for parking when you first come.
